I live in the region where GE has a locomotive assembly plant. I've been there once and it's a huge place full of heavy duty cranes and what not. I've seen flatbed semi-trailers on the road transporting wheel trucks and front cab housings. There is so much heavy steel and castings that I'm amazed there's enough power in the end to move just the locomotice, let alone a mile-long train! The front nose section of most cargo trains is the bathroom!! Can you imaging soaring down the tracks at 60mph in a super-heavy vehicle on auto-pilot as you sit on the "throne" facing opposite to the direction of travel?!?! The modern locomotives employ wireless telemetry, controls and system monitoring within the cab itself to reduce wiring. It's a good thing that GE Industrial is a complete opposite of GE Consumer, 'cause their consumer line is crap, pure and simple. Ge should just stick to locomotives, electric motors and controls, aircraft engines, and power generation (turbines).
